Document Summary
The study of economics is about how the economic system works, rather than how the system can be worked for personal advantage. Concurrently, it is also to be hoped that understanding how the economy works will stimulate more concern with strategies to achieve better social outcomes. The economic context we live in is one of risk and uncertainty. The capacity of governments to manage other processes of income redistribution is impaired by their reluctance to raise taxation to generate the necessary revenue. As students, going to university is an investment in our future. As consumers, choosing one good over another in a scene of vast choice forgoing saving for immediate gratification or vice versa. There is a link between micro personal choices and macro societal choices. As individuals, we all participate in the political economic drama. The personal is political economic (our personal actions affect the political economy and thus, the personal is political economic).
